This is a departure from my normal blog.
It is an exercise in imagination for me. I’m imagining two people, a Bangkok Bar Girl and her sponsor back in America, and I am wondering what each of them thinks about when they wake up in the morning. It’s got a bit of ’stream of consciousness’ feel to it, and it’s designed to be a ligthearted look at two people.
It’s the first actual fiction I’ve ever put on one of my blogs. Dunno if you’ll like it or hate it.

I am a member of California Wow fitness center here in Bangkok, but I haven’t made use of the membership in several months. It was originally a 3-year membership and it’s now due to expire in December.
With Penfold planning to return to Bangkok next month, he and I have been discussing getting into the gym together. See, Penfold is a gym-junkie, and I usually need to work out with someone (friend, trainer… doesn’t matter) as part of my motivation to go regularly. In Australia, I paid a personal trainer and spent about 6 hours a week for more than five years in the gym.
Here in Bangkok, in spite of having a membership, I’ve been sporadic about my workouts. Last year I started working out with a friend, but he gave up on Thailand and moved back to the US about a year ago. Since then my visits to the gym have been few and far between.
The end of my membership at almost exactly the same time as Penfold’s return has had me thinking of renewing.
So, the girl was in luck when she called me tonight.

One very common idea in Thai political discussions for the past year or so has been to talk about the “invisible hand”. But we’re not talking Adam Smith and The Wealth of Nations here.
It’s something else entirely, but what exactly is it?
